The Tor Project is alleging that the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) paid Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) researchers $1 million to attack Tor’s hidden services last year.

The attack appears to have indiscriminately targeted several users at once and not just those suspected of criminal activity, Tor said in a Nov. 11 post adding there is no indication that a warrant was used.
